Bart: Haha, they'll buy anything!
Homer: Now, son, they produce a lot of quality programming.

"I'm not one to 'bite the hand that feeds me', but I might consider 'biting the network that canceled me!'"

"And this movie haaates the media. Kinda ironic considering what made the Spice Girls in the first place."

—The Nostalgia Chick, on Spice World

Yeah, we can't get in to see Unplugged. Why not? Well I asked one of the vice-presidents here, and obviously I'm not allowed to say what his name is, so I'll just call him... "dirtbag" -- I said, "Hey, dirtbag, how come we can't get in to see Unplugged?" And he gives me this whole rigmarole about how we can't get a load of tickets for you guys, and we only run the network, and we probably can't even count that high.

—Michael Ian Black, The State, complaining about MTV not allowing him and the other ten cast members to be in the MTV Unplugged studio audience
